I use Mosquito Bits and try to keep the media dryer #### Rosanna L. Buchanan님이 2023-07-04에 답변했습니다. Okay! Thank you so much #### Tiffany님이 2023-07-04에 답변했습니다. Do you put dry mosquito bits on top of the soil? #### MeasomerPi님이 2023-07-04에 답변했습니다. I sprinkle on top and then mix the bits into the top layer of the media with a chopstick. ### Edward님이 2023-07-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. I have gnats around my plants this year too. I’m thinking because of the volume. Maybe try traps or sticky tape like suggested. I can’t imagine they’d be too harmful #### Rosanna L. Buchanan님이 2023-07-04에 답변했습니다. Thank you! I will try all of this ### Sam님이 2023-07-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. I use a spray neem oil I got on Amazon. Works great if you let the top inch of soil dry out. Spray with neem oil and let it dry out again #### Rosanna L. Buchanan님이 2023-07-04에 답변했습니다. I read about this! Thanks! Will also try this ### MamaJuju님이 2023-07-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. There is also neem powder you can powder the very top layer and then spray the leaves. I know the fungus gnats don’t do anything but they just disgust me, maybe it’s their horrible name lol. #### pg님이 2023-07-04에 답변했습니다. Is the neem powder 100% neem? Or other pesticides in it? Any idea? #### Rosanna L. Buchanan님이 2023-07-05에 답변했습니다. Thank you! ### clo ☁️🪴🫶🏻님이 2023-07-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. Omg, same thing with my pothos! They are so tiny and annoying and are flying all over my room. #### MamaJuju님이 2023-07-04에 답변했습니다. Neem powder is 100% ground up neem leaves with no other additives, I get the organic option! \*It’s best to mix into the soil when you repot just right off the bat because the FGs lay up to 300 eggs per batch, they hatch in 4 days, live for 14, and you can have so many generations in the soil and it will just never end.\* FYI: Neem oil STINKS so bad. That’s why I recommend using disposable gloves and using a lemongrass spray over top (it’s natural and smells nice, made for plant pests, but in this instance it’s just for smell). ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/8BX1jSAXN54hqxaahYg0In-6Sxt_2L-jw7t_9KgGnO8/a34a1528b6e34d18be2539990deebefe.webp?size=large) #### clo ☁️🪴🫶🏻님이 2023-07-05에 답변했습니다. Aww thanks so much for the help! I just got my plant not to long ago and have been iffy about repotting it but im planning on it soon. Im so excited for these tiny things to go away! 😁😁 I was wonder if neem oil would work good too because i was planning on getting the oil instead of the powder. #### Rosanna L.
